Did you know there was a mass shooting in Indianapolis over the weekend? I briefly saw it on a news crawl, but didn't hear another word about it, so, by Monday, I assumed I had dreamt it. Nope.
Conservatives managed to blame Bush’s economic disaster on Bill Clinton (for signing a deregulation bill sponsored and presented by 3 prominent Republicans) and Obama. Their line with Obama was “well he’s president now, it’s his responsibility!!” and accused him of tanking the economy, as if it makes ANY sense. Meanwhile you have Trump saying “I don’t take accountability for anything” and the same people think he’s great. Trump claimed the economy under him was a ‘disaster’ because of Obama, nothing to do with Trump, yet also recently tried to take credit for low unemployment and rising wages under Biden. Massive inflation caused by Trump’s policies goes uncommented upon, of course. Or in conservative world, same shit as Obama - “the BIDEN economy!!”. Republicans manage to take credit for anything positive and blame anything negative on Democrats even when it has nothing to do with facts, logic or reality. A real “heads I win tails you lose” line of bullshit. It’s a trait of narcissism.

well put! we need to switch the narrative on this - price gouging and billionaires becoming massively richer are happening thanks to republican policy, we need to make them own it.
